Perched atop L’Hirondelle Club Road, in the heart of Ruxton, sits a classic Colonial beauty that has been loved by the same family for over 50 years. Going far beyond “lovingly maintained,” the current homeowners have been meticulous on the upkeep, care, and improvement of the property. Situated on over an acre and a half, every box on your list is checked off here. The main home consists of 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths. A bonus apartment contains an additional bedroom and bathroom. Entering the central hall colonial, the foyer is flanked by a cozy den to the left and a spacious living room to the right. Both rooms feature wood burning fireplaces and huge bay windows, allowing tons of natural light to flood each room. A bonus in the wood paneled den is a quintessential mid-century closet bar. The eat-in kitchen and attached butler’s kitchen have been updated and offer an enormous amount of storage space. Depending on one’s needs, the butler’s kitchen could be reimagined to expand the main kitchen or possibly add a spacious mudroom & laundry room just off the attached two car garage. A formal dining room is large enough for full scale family gatherings and even your largest pieces of furniture. The oversized rear patio, sure to be a favorite of both family and friends alike, leads out to a fabulous pool and backyard- the ideal summer hang out. Upstairs there are four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A laundry room on this level could easily be converted to a 3rd full bathroom, depending on ones needs. The lower level is partially finished and includes a half bath, wine room, and endless storage. It is otherwise a blank slate depending on your needs. But that’s not all. Sharing a wall with the main house, but otherwise self sufficient, is a separate standalone apartment which was constructed in the same manner and with the same quality as the main house. The guest apartment / in-law suite is perfect for grandparents, live-in help, out of town visitors, or whatever your needs may be. It is more than your typical “in-law suite.” It is truly a second home, complete with generously sized living & dining rooms, kitchen, office, screened in porch, bedroom and bathroom- all on one level. Being forward thinking, the homeowners have made huge investments to ensure the house is energy efficient. The recently installed geo-thermal system keeps utility costs astonishingly low year round. With the convenience and privacy that this Ruxton location offers, it is clear why homes in the neighborhood are in high demand and do not last long!
